Low Audio Problems on MacBook M1 Pro Sonoma Has anyone experience low volume of your built in speakers when it’s up to full max? I have this problem right now and I tried a lot of methods to try and fix it. I’ve tried force quitting the core audio, resetting the mac, updating to the latest software and other methods but none of them seem to work. I notice the problem when I’m watching videos on YouTube on FireFox and thought it was the browser itself so I tried to delete the cache and cookies from it, and still doesn’t work. I hopped on Safari to see if the audio is low too, and it is. MacBook nowadays is really weird, and I’ve been a MacBook user since last decade, and this is maybe the first I experience this problem for the low audio.

Why does Music play significantly quieter than everything else in Montery 12.6.7? What causes Music to play significantly quieter than everything else? When using QuickTime, youtube.com and all other programs & streaming services, the volume is always twice as loud as Music on my MacBook Air 2020 (M1). If the volume is set to 50% music only plays at 25%. I've ran diagnosis however there no problem in the system. This didn't happen until more recent times & it's extremely annoying. And I cannot increase Preamp to increase the volume output because that causes sources to go from Green & Amber, to Red which causes major issues with distortion of audio output.

Test with headphones or external speakers. If the issue is only with the built-in speakers, then the laptop will need to be repaired. Have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop to provide you with a repair estimate.

FYI, it really helps to mention the exact model Mac you have since some laptops like the MBPro 2013-2015 models (especially the 2014 model) are known to have speaker failures. I've never seen any other Apple laptop models (or any other non-Apple laptops) have such a high rate of speaker failures. You can get the exact model of the Mac by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac".
